Is a PS5 Slim worth it?
Whether buying the PS5 Slim is worthwhile is difficult to say, especially when you compare it to the current Black Friday deals; it makes less sense. For existing users, there are only minimal advantages, such as the smaller design and slightly larger internal storage. These are the strongest arguments in favor of the PS5 Slim.
The design of the PS5 continues to be a topic of discussion, as the four separate faceplates make it appear even more cluttered than before, along with the potentially inferior overall build quality, particularly regarding the new stand, which most people find simply cheap. The now optional vertical stand ultimately makes the entire package slightly more expensive, even though it does appear somewhat more premium.
That can only be said definitively once the console is actually in someone's home.
